Amina's Voice by Hena Khan.
This book, under the new imprint Salaam Reads, is by one of my favorite authors whose book Golden Domes, Silver Lanterns, beautifully reminded readers of the communality of celebratins in all worlds as she described those celebreated by Muslimas. Amina's Voice again reminds us of our shared cares/concerns as we share the life of a young, somewhat shy girl who is worried about changes in friends/frienships, how to be a good daughter/niece/sister (when an Uncle from Pakistan comes and wants to see things in a traditional way). She would like to perform in a school event but is too shy to do so. She just happens
to be Muslim. This is a well realized young girl who reminds us of the humanity we all share.
